I had the same problem on a Ferrari F1 (their equivalent of SMG) transmission. Always happened when cold. It wasn't such a huge problem so I ignored it for a while - after a few minutes it was fine, but over the weeks it progressively got worse, and didn't need to be as 'cold' to manifest itself. As more weeks went by, it got to the point where reverse just wouldn't work at all - regardless of how cold/hot it was.
The real annoying thing is I can't remember what exactly the fault was! 
What I do remember is I certainly couldn't take care of it myself, it had to go the dealer - thankfully under warranty! Took them a day to put it right.

The problem could have several causes, from a bad electrical contact below the shifter (or somewhere else) to some mechanical lubrication problem in the gearbox going away when parts are slightly expanding.
At any rate there's not much you can find out yourself, you'll need to rely on your dealer for this one - and leave the car there for a while so they can always let it cool down multiple times for reproducing the problem.

Correct, from a small farming village just north of Fazakerly, well it was once.
